Brembo 13" drilled rotors with the Lotus caliper at all four corners. Front pads are Carbotech Panther Plus. Rear pads are Porterfield R4-S.

At the track, Carbotech dusts more than Porterfield. On the street, the Carbotech will squeal when the rotors are at some intermediate temperature. I have a laser pyrometer, but have never bothered to shoot the rotors. They only squeal during the last five or ten feet, when coming to a stop. The noise doesn't bother me at all, because when I depress the center pedal, my NSX stops like there is devine intervention. Sidebar - a couple of months ago, I was coming to a stop in traffic next to a Porsche (read - Brembo derivative brakes are standard issue with those cars.) He had his windows down, so he couldn't ignore the noise. He looked over at my front brakes with this "what-kind-of-crap-brakes-are-on-that-car?" expression on his face. When he saw what was lurking behind the Technos, he gave me a thumbs up.
